What is Gun Street Girl About?
Our story opens on the streets of London. Magic is real, although most people don’t have the natural talents to do it. Monsters are real, and they occasionally live and interact with regular humans, although they try to keep a low profile because of their problematic reputations. In this world, the independent problem-solvers of problems involving magic or monsters are street magicians… and their bodyguards, known as guns.
When Eddie Caution, a heavyset magician and supernatural investigator, met tough-girl Liz Pendragon while she was defending her girlfriend from the roving hands of some relations of the local mob, he offered her a job as his “gun” (bodyguard/muscle), and she accepted, having wanted all her life for there to be a way to encounter magic on a regular basis. The two of them investigate ghosts, rescue those kidnapped by monsters, try to stay out of trouble (often difficult), and generally enjoy life.

The Characters
Liz Pendragon (real name Liz Pennebaker from Minnesota) chose a new last name for herself and ran away from home to come to England as soon as she could, because the United States claims that magic and monsters aren’t real, and she found America’s world horribly sad and boring. Liz is the bodyguard for:
Eddie Caution showed great promise as a mage once upon a time, but ever since his wife Judith died tragically, his control over his magic has been intermittently chaotic. However, Eddie has always believed in Liz’s worth, and she repays that with nigh-unshakeable loyalty toward him (even though he tests it a little sometimes, such as by having a recurring problem with gambling). Finally, there’s:
Prana O’Shea, an exotic dancer, is Liz’s girlfriend. Prana is somewhat psychic, although she’s ashamed of it, and doesn’t even talk to Liz about it (although Eddie is aware of her abilities). Knowing when danger is likely on its way is also extra-stressful to Prana because Liz is almost always in some sort of danger…
More Great Action from Lucha!
Gun Street Girl is the second graphic novel by Barb Lien-Cooper and Park Cooper published by Lucha Comics. Collectively, Barb and Park have delivered fantastic stories in both graphic and prose form for Lucha, Marvel, and VIZ.
Gun Street Girl was Barb’s comic about a lesbian gal, Liz, and a street magician (much less fancy than a stage magician, but he does real magic), Eddie Caution, and Liz’s girlfriend Prana. In their world, magic exists, but it’s super hard to find in the United States, so Liz ran away from home and stowed away to get to England.
On one level, Barb was tired of fictional partnerships (cops, detectives, business partners, anything really) where the guy and the gal always end up together sooner or later. “What if I made the guy really not her type?” she wondered, but fiction was increasingly full of examples of such partners being forced together anyway. “What if I make one of them gay?” she thought next, and the characters and world of what would become Gun Street Girl started coming together…
Gun Street Girl was online during the very start of the webcomic era, and then it was published by a publisher called Bedazzled Ink that specialized in LGBT+ stories, but it was their first graphic novel and they didn’t really know how to market it, so we took it back, and now we and artist Ryan Howe and publisher Lucha Comics want to bring it back again, in digital and print and in color.
GSG is a series of stories about fighting monsters and magic, it’s true, but it’s also about found families and being strong, overcoming the sad and sometimes dangerous ghosts of one’s past– often by sharing one’s burdens with the people one trusts. Also, over time, gay marriage has gone from being outlawed, to becoming the law of the land, to being extremely endangered again as we speak.
We found the perfect artist in Ryan Howe with his many talents– not the least of which is a gift for drawing perfectly-expressive faces, although he has many others as well– and soon, combined with colour by Zdravko Jandric (USUD, Azteq vs Prowler), we are excited to share a definitive version of these stories. Now it’s time to bring the stories of Liz and Prana (and Eddie) to the next phase of their journey.
We hope that you will enjoy this story which has been years in the making– and great news: Volume II of Gun Street Girl (over 140 pages!) is in the colouring process as well (hopefully we will get to share it with the world before the end of 2025– that’d be nearly 300 pages of GSG action)!
